Hello all, I've just recently managed to get TTDPatch working on my computer and with all the new graphics out there (Esp. the DB set), it has greatly added to my enjoyment of the game. I did a few edited screenshots many moons ago, and after seeing what was possible with the new TTD Patch, I decided to start working on some actual graphics. I draw "Train Gifs" in my spare time, so I figured I'd be up to this task :). I'm gurrently playing around with side views mostly, adding the diagonal and end views after I finalize what all I'd like to do. My inspiration for this set is certainly the excellent DB set. I've edited the original graphics in some places, others I've drawn myself. A picture of my current "List" is at http://www.trainweb.org/rrgifroundhouse/TTD/TRAIN1.gif I want to have several North American specific freight cars as well, I'm planning on adding a "Bethgon" unit train hopper (for coal, copper and Iron ore) as well as a steel boxcar and a few others. I'm not sure if all of these will work, but I see no reason why not, just may end up with some clipping issues here and there. Here's what else I plan on adding before anyone adds any more. A Challenger (4-6-6-4) and Tender similar to the current Garratt (Although only 2 units) EMD GP20, GP35, GP38, GP50, GP60M, SD9, Alco RS3, RSD7, C420, C628, and C636 diesels. The LRC will be painted in VIA Rail colours, and the other diesels will get liveries eventually as well. I also want to do some passenger coaches. I know I can get the drawings no prob, jst will take a bit of getting used to for the programming bit. Suggestions on current progress welcomed. Feel free to check out my website as well - http://www.trainweb.org/rrgifroundhouse Thanks, Take Care, Dan MacKellar
